Item 2. Disposition of Significant Subsidiary

     As reported on July 30, 2004 in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed by Targeted Genetics Corporation, or Targeted Genetics, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission, on July 27, 2004, Chromos Molecular Systems, Inc., or Chromos, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Targeted Genetics’ majority-owned subsidiary, CellExSys, Inc., or CellExSys, through a merger between CellExSys and Chromos Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chromos. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Chromos has issued to CellExSys shareholders 1,500,000 shares of Chromos common stock and a secured convertible debenture totaling approximately $3.4 million Canadian, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The debenture bears annual interest of 2% and is payable in two annual installments on July 27, 2005 and 2006. The debenture and the related interest is repayable by Chromos at its option in either cash or by the issuance of shares of Chromos common stock, assuming certain limited conditions are met by Chromos.

     Each shareholder of CellExSys will receive a pro rata distribution of Chromos common stock and principal and interest payments received on the debenture, based on the shareholder’s equity interest in CellExSys as of July 27, 2004. Targeted Genetics owned approximately 79% of CellExSys at the time of the merger. In combination with the shares of Chromos common stock issued at closing, if the debenture is fully paid in shares of Chromos common stock, the shareholders of CellExSys would receive up to 3.5 million shares, which represents an approximately 17.2% equity interest in Chromos, based on issued and outstanding shares of Chromos as of the date of closing. The market value of these 3.5 million shares of Chromos common stock as of the date of closing was approximately $1.4 million. Chromos has funded certain of CellExSys’ operational costs through the closing of the merger through deposits totaling $502,000. As a result of the merger, we will record a gain during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, equal to the combination of the net liabilities assumed by Chromos, the deposits received from Chromos to fund pre-closing operating costs, and our pro-rata share of the fair value of the merger consideration.

     A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 21, 2004, by and among, Chromos, Chromos, Inc., CellExSys and Targeted Genetics was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to Targeted Genetics’ quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, filed with the Commission on July 30, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The actual purchase price consideration is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. As a result, the actual gain we report may differ from the estimated gain presented in this pro forma balance sheet.

The following tables reflect unaudited pro forma results of operations assuming the disposition of CellExSys, giving effect to the disposition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each respective period. The pro forma results, do not give effect to any gain resulting from the disposition of CellExSys, which will be reflected in the period ending September 30, 2004, and will consist of the net liabilities assumed by Chromos, the deposits received from Chromos to fund pre-closing operating costs, and our pro-rata share of the fair value of the merger consideration. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the disposition of CellExSys actually occurred as of the beginning of each period presented.
